Vol. XV~No. 10 Chapel Hill High School, Chapel Hill, N. C. Thursday, December 7, 1944 Leaders In Popularity Contest Announced C.H.H.S. Student Presents His Opinion of the Hitter Question In the early part of last summer there was an attempt against Hit ler’s life. In this attempt there were many high German army of ficials involved. At the time the German Propaganda agency under the leadership of Herr Goebbels published a statement to the ef fect that nothing serious had happened to Der Fuehrer. It said that he suffered slight burns, and that his pants had been blown cff. It seems that if the bomb had so great a force as to blow his pants off, it most assuredly must have killed or wounded him. It is much more probable that it was the latter. My main reason for the belief is that Hitler was shown in a Nazi newsreel after the bombing. He was shown walk ing through a hospital ward with his arm in a sling and with other patches around his face. At the time people remarked about the sallowness of his face. On November the 11th the Lon don Press said, “Armistice Day may find Hitler again in care of a Psychiatrist.” The announce ment was followed by this short paragraph. “When the first world war was ended 26 years ago, doctors in a military hospital in Germany studied the case of a shell shocked German corporal and debated whether to send him to a mental institution. They finally released the cor poral as fit, and Adolf Hitler walked out into the gloomy day. The day after this announce ment Heinrich Himmler read a speech for Hitler. Thus people all over the world began to speculate as to the whereabouts of Der Fuehrer. See OPINION, page three > i Results of the preliminaries of the Proconian popularity contest were released yesterday when the Student Council Ellections Com mittee, headed by Ardie Hamilton, announced that the field of candi dates had been cut to ten; five girls and five boys.
